View Article  Meeting up with your favourite star...

You just see them on the front page of newspapers. Always perfect without any spots and without any kilos too much, wearing the clothes you always wanted to wear.

attractions in london
Of course, I am talking about Brad Pitt & Co. But did you know that Tom Cruise is just 169 cm tall?

In Mme Tussaud’s wax figure museum in London you can check if your imaginations of your favourite stars are realistic. Of course, you won’t be able to see if there are perhaps, after all some spots hidden under a thick layer of make up – proofing that even the celebrities are just human beings. But I can calm you down, I have it from a good source that the stars have the same problems as us.

Sometimes their jeans are also too tight and they try to blame the last laundry for it. ;-).

In Mme Tussaud’s you can just enjoy the feeling to stand, to hug or even touch your beloved idol.

It is just amazing how detailed the wax figures are created.


Just set off for Mme Tussauds and become part of the high society -at least on the pictures...

Tickets are soon available on www. gift-tours.com!

View Article  Unlock the Stonehenge’s secret...
Stonehenge Tours

Once upon a time, somewhere in the South West of beautiful England, some men started the construction of a mysterious monument. They put up many huge rocks which created later a wide inner circle in the green Salisbury Plain.


5000 years later, the Stonehenge site keeps on raising questions and various theories (the heavy mystery which shrouds it). Some people think that Stonehenge was a temple, a place of worship where the druids and Celts met and prayed. For others, the stone ring was a prehistoric astronomical observatory because of its specific orientation. However, some recent researches revealed that the site was rather a burial place.


Nowadays, still nobody knows the truth. Stonehenge keeps all its secrets well locked up...


If you are as curious as me about discovering the fascinating story of Stonehenge, be aware of many tours which are organized by Gift-Tours.com in order to satisfy your thirst for adventure. Special deals allow you to visit the famous site and other must-see attractions nearby such as the imposing Windsor Castle or the lovely Georgian city of Bath, famous for its old Roman Baths.


One of the offers of Gift-Tours.com enables you to visit Stonehenge at sunset or sunrise. I would advise you to go there at one of these times as the site looks then the most wonderful! I’m sure, you won’t be disappointed...


Don’t wait any longer and enter the legend of Stonehenge and its marvellous mysteries!

View Article  St Paul’s Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral


Did you know that the current St Paul’s Cathedral, or Cathedral Church of Paul the Apostle, is actually the fifth in order? The previous churches have all burnt down or decayed over the years, since the first was built in AD 604. The present Cathedral was built in the 17th century and you don’t need to know a lot about its history to understand that it’s been through a lot, both good and bad. It literally breathes history from over the years.


Neither need you be religious to appreciate the sightseeing tours around the area. It does not only tell you a more than 400 year long story, but the architecture around the place is also amazing. One must admit that the St Paul’s Cathedral designed by Sir Christopher Wren is a quite massive building! What might be interesting to know is that the church bell, Great Paul, is the heaviest in the whole United Kingdom with its 17 tons. How the heck did they manage to hang it up in the first place?


St Paul’s Cathedral is both for tourists who want to go sightseeing around the area and for anyone who needs a quiet moment to pray. The latter is naturally completely free of charge. For seightseeing, book your ticket online with gift-tours.com!

View Article  Discover England's secrets...

Secrets, myths and mysteries...these things are not only interesting for children, adults cherish as well for instance mystery novels and tend to be very igneous about gossips and other people’s issues. But this only on the side.

Actually I intended to refer to one of the most beautiful places in England: Dover’s White Cliffs. This location is such an awesome place. In combination with the stories, for how many people and even more interesting for what kind of people these cliffs have already been a shelter... terrific!


Leeds Castle and Dover Trip
It was a shelter and a stash for WWII Soldiers, bootleggers and even for smugglers and pirates.

Just let your imagination run free for a moment and imagine, you are on a boat trip and then a big dark, sordid ship with a flag with skull and cross bones on it arrives out of nowhere.... Does it give you the creeps?

But don’t worry. Nowadays you usually don’t meet pirates on the White Cliffs in Dover any more.

So why not joining a trip?

Also, you will have the possibility to see the other must-see attractions of the nearby area.

The tour includes a visit to Leed’s Castle, spectacularly set on two islands and surrounded by land rich in English wildlife. Furthermore you will enjoy the beautiful view from Dover’s Cliffs and of course you won’t miss Canterbury and Greenwich travelling further through the country. Canterbury is popular because of its beautiful cathedral and famous for being a pilgrim’s destination. In Greenwich there are many beautiful parks and amazing architecture.

View Article  Hairspray - not only for your hair...

Musical in
London
 

No, I don’t mean the stuff you put on your hair to look more attractive. Hairspray, the movie should be familiar to everyone. But have you also attended the musical yet?


'Big Hair, Big Heart, Big Hit! You will laugh, you will scream, you might even shed a tear or two' (Daily Telegraph). I can only agree with the Daily Telegraph. The funny smash hit musical is definitely one of the funniest and most vibrant entertainment shows I’ve ever seen.


The story is about an ordinary girl starting off a career in her favourite TV dance show. Can she match her dancing career with the demands of her mother and at the same time win the heart of her heartthrob?


I really love musicals, especially London’s theatre scene as it is famous for its outstanding shows.

Unfortunately, musicals don’t count to the most cheapest attractions. You spend a lot of money, just to see the show. It’s good value, that’s for sure, however as a visitor you have to book a hotel in addition. That can be really expensive.

I’m glad that gift-tours provides a package including hotel and musical tickets now.

It spares troubles and is a cheap way to spend a lovely evening in a musical and afterwards stay overnight in a reputable hotel.

View Article  Hear ye, hear ye!

Being held for 35 years now the Medieval Banquet, taking place in the vaulted cellars of the Ivory House is becoming a little piece in history itself. And bearing in mind the impressive number of visitors every year, nothing implies that it’s going to be a part of the past any time soon. Located just a stone's throw from the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, the Medieval Banquet is a perfect escape from our time’s electronic devices and lack of chivalrous
manners for a couple of hours.

For the feast of four courses and unlimited beer and wine, King Henry VIII and his company of knights and ladies, minstrels and players will be joining you. Raise your tankard in the manners of bygone times and flickering torchlights, and make a toast to the fact that we don’t have to deal with leprosy any more. (Phew...)
Cheers!

Don't miss our city breaks that include both a ticket to one of London's countless attractions as well as a hotel stay, for prices from just £59!
